No New Start: Renewing the U.S.-Russian Deal Won’t Solve Today’s Nuclear Dilemmas with Hon. Frank Miller and Amb. Eric Edelman

As the expiration of the New START Treaty looms, join The Honorable Frank Miller and Ambassador Eric Edelman for a timely and provocative discussion on why simply renewing the U.S.-Russian arms control framework is no longer sufficient in today’s multipolar nuclear environment.

Drawing on decades of experience in defense policy and arms control, Miller and Edelman will examine how the strategic landscape has shifted since New START’s signing in 2010. With Russia’s aggressive modernization of its nuclear arsenal and China’s rapid strategic breakout, the speakers argue that the treaty’s limitations now constrain U.S. deterrence more than they enhance stability.

This seminar will explore:

• Why New START is outdated in the face of two nuclear-armed adversaries
• The risks of relying on arms control with bad-faith actors
• Strategic alternatives to preserve deterrence and security in a post-New START world
